"I'm Alright"
Woke up this morning, didn't feel that bad
Last night was definitely not one of the worst I ever had
Ate a nice dinner, drank a few drinks
Didn't think about you baby no matter what you think
Went back to my hotelroom I went straight to bed
Didn't moan, didn't cry and I did not wish I was dead
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you
Woke up this morning, didn't have the blues
So I put on my tubesocks, laced up my running shoes
Went down to the reservoir to jog a mile or two
Didn't take about our love and I wasn't missing you
Went back to my hotelroom took a few phonecalls
Clean sheets on a made up bed and artwork on the wall
I'm allright
I'm allright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you
Woke up this afternoon and I sat up in the bed
There was a gnawing in my gut and a poundin' in my head
So I went to the bathroom, to the medicinechest
There was sleepin'pills and razorblades and all the rest
But I was in control baby I was so relaxed
I found myself my dental floss, my favourite kind - unwaxed
I'm alright
I'm alright
Yeah I'm alright baby
I'm alright without you
